I actually like the length and love how it looks worn open in the second picture. Sorry to hear that it's going back, but I think you are on the right track. Now you have me yearning for a ponte moto. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-grey-jacket#post-861563 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 11:16:14 +0000 lyn67 861563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So sorry to hear that, Mander. It's hard to find a good blazer no matter the size, but I had a feeling you are not even looking for one, fearing will be too formal-but trust me, you cannot go wrong in a good blazer!<br /> Sorry I am in the EU- we have this company with lots of plus size options, I think they ship internationally, too-:-)- prices are resonable.<br /> Maybe this<br /> <a href="http://www.charles-voegele.de/de/blazer-2320755484.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.charles-voegele.de/.....55484.html</a><br /> or this<br /> <a href="http://www.charles-voegele.de/de/blazer-2320755824.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.charles-voegele.de/.....55824.html</a><br /> ? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-grey-jacket#post-860938 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 22:25:07 +0000 rae 860938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Didn't really need to see the pic after reading how you feel - it doesn't make you happy, so on to something better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-grey-jacket#post-860902 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 21:48:42 +0000 Caro in Oz 860902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another return vote. I love the idea of this jacket but I agree a bit more structure &amp; a shorter length would be better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-grey-jacket#post-860888 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 21:40:00 +0000 biscuitsmom 860888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with bj111.

I've been hunting for a blazer for ages, and while they seem to be everywhere in straight sizes, I have found very few in plus sizes here -- and almost nothing that isn't black polyester.</p> <p>So, back it goes, and I'll keep hunting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-grey-jacket#post-860590 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 17:59:02 +0000 Diana 860590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with the others that this is too long and the fabric too insubstantial. I do like the idea of a more structured, shorter, moto-style jacket for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-grey-jacket#post-860359 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 15:03:25 +0000 lyn67 860359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote return. Neither the colopr nor the cut and the fabric is making up to your fab self Mander!:-((. Esp not for a conferrence outfit, you've planned for...(I missed that thread, but searched back for my ref).<br /> I don't know why are you so afraid buying a real (wool/jersey/cotton/linnen) blazer?<br /> I mean not a very formal one, like all black tux, or so...there are plenty of more casual blazers(jackets) out there, in a good, more substantial weight fabric, and a more structurred cut which will fit you gorgeous-, and will do a really good job with jeans(your fav. uniform:-)) for casuals and and even a dress or a pencil for a smart casual!<br /> Please, take my words to your hear and start looking for a real (BF?) blazer.<br /> Thanx for listening:-)) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-grey-jacket#post-860267 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 13:31:27 +0000 Suz 860267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am totally with Beth Ann. YOU look great, but will look even better with a more structured fabric jacket in a shorter cut. I do like this colour on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-grey-jacket#post-860243 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 13:15:07 +0000 Beth Ann 860243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mander: I have both a assymetrical zippered ponte moto and a ruched poplin moto that I love and wear a lot. I think a little more substantial construction and weight of fabric and a slightly shorter length would be amazing.</p> <p>There is a jacket out there! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-grey-jacket#post-860235 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 13:05:28 +0000 pil 860235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with everyone else, it does look better open. The color is really nice on you but the jacket isn't quite there, although the off center zipper and collar are slick : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-grey-jacket#post-860216 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 12:41:55 +0000 Anonymous 860216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The idea of this jacket is great and ou definitely should wear this colour! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-grey-jacket#post-860214 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 12:40:45 +0000 Anonymous 860214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with thistle, it looks better open. It might work at that length if styled right but probably a bit too long also. I think you can find better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-grey-jacket#post-860209 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 12:34:57 +0000 Anonymous 860209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, the problem is not you, you look beautiful. I think the fabric is too clingy here. Cute idea, though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-grey-jacket#post-860188 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 11:57:24 +0000 Thistle 860188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fine!</p> <p>As for the jacket, I would return. The fit isn't right when closed, while it looks better open, I think it is too long.</p> <p>Not sure if this is an outdoor coat or blazer. If blazer, length is too long. If outdoor, the fit when closed is off, and I demand full sleeves from outside wear! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-grey-jacket#post-860183 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 11:47:20 +0000 Mander 860183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Speaking of the little grey jacket, here it is on me. It is a lot longer and more voluminous in the sleeves than I thought it would be, and it is rather clingy, but unfortunately this is the largest size available.</p> <p>Thoughts? I'm pretty sure it is going back, unless someone sees anything redeeming.</p> <p>Please ignore my extremely unflattering t-shirt and fluffy hair... I look pretty hideous in these photos all around! </p>
